+HotMessMemories1 unfortunately thats the way the competition works, it's not based on dancing alone, there's also their personalities and how well known the starts are
she has crazy q factor. Incredible charisma. She looks like a cartoon. Can't wait to see the dances. Val is actually my favorite dancer, but I think for Laurie, I'd prefer Mark or Sasha, so I hope Val gets creative and they just have a lot of fun.
I know many r going for Laurie Hernandez which I am excited for by the way, but I am also rooting for Jana Kramer, Jake T. Austin, Maureen McCormick and somewhat of Ryan Lofte. (i'll give him a chance, I doubt he'll win though)
I know, right? Major bummer for some of us DWTS fans not to see Mark Ballas this 23rd season! It's because he's focusing on his latest project this fall: Broadway "The Jersey Boys" in the Big Apple (a.k.a. New York)!
+leonor andaya am so happy for Mark! I know he's super smart & insanely talented, he graduated with honors in London majored Musical Theater! Impressive opportunity playing he iconic role of Frankie Valli, Jersey Boys. I will most def go see him, he's on October 18th till early 2017!
Yeah. It is weird that neither Mark nor Tony are on S23 to be seen, but it's already Week 5 and I'm getting used to it watching and enjoying it too (since they're sidelined this season).
I'm freakin' excited for DWTS 23rd season!!! (They've posted 10 of the DWTS S23 promo pics on Google already! They better have the promo pics of James & Sharna, Vanilla & Witney, and Jana & Gleb on the 1st week of this season!!!) Can't wait to boogie for the season premiere this fall, though! GOOD LUCK, S23 CAST!!! U GOT THIS!!!!!
I like your pairs selection. and I was definitely looking at Val/Laurie and Lindsay/Calvin for sure. Laurie definitely has what it takes to win it and I think she can handle Val pushing her. I think Lindsay and Calvin make a stunning duo, and he seems to like a challenge, so I know Lindsay is going to make him work. Who doesn't love Babyface? (right) He just always seems so shy, but the one think he has in his favor is musicality. so if he can incorporate that into his dancing they could definitely be top contenders.
i feel like the hosts of gma need to do a better job of hosting and knowing they're facts when they promote a show. I mean they only covered the popular the pros, but what about ones who's having they're first chance like Jenna, or who aren't so popular and came back like Allison and Gleb
Yes Derek had two gymnasts and is innovative too. Val must feel like he hit the jack box with Laurie and will probably copy Mark and Derek's past gymnast choreo
I totally agree! I miss Mark & Paige from last season, if Paige had the same wide fan base as Laurie, they would have won! Same with Sadie, Katherine & Chelsea! Hope Mark comes back next season after his awesome iconic Broadway role on Jersey Boys . WTG Mark but you will be missed this season 23 of DWTS! Ain't the same without U
I disagree, Val was great with Zendaya and she too was only 16 years old when she competed on DWTS in S16, and Val was very creative with her. When Derek was paired with Nastia, I think he depended a bit too much on her gymnastics skills, but one of the things I love about Val's partnership with Laurie is that he did not just depend on Laurie's gymnastic skills, he actually seriously taught Laurie proper Latin Ballroom dancing this season, and he utilized very little of her gymnastic skills this season because he wanted to turn Laurie into a proper dancer, and not just a gymnast who tries to dance. Anyway, I'm glad Laurie was paired with Val this season, their chemistry and partnership was great and Val really let Laurie be herself, he choreographed some really great dances for her and some dances that remained true to who Laurie really is. I'm so happy Laurie & Val won S23!
Linda L I'm happy for Laurie because anyone would have won with her. Like Carrie-Anne said though there was no shades or light and dark. Val's choreo was one trip pony for me. He didnt choreo a soft romantic or sexy piece for her to show her range (grieving choreo about her grandmother doesn't count; no shade on Laurie at all just Val).
Wonder whose decision was it to bring Ryan Lochte in this season. The (very) bad publicity surrounding all that lying about being mugged at Rio is till fresh with a lot of people. I think he could be booted very fast once all those call votes begin.
Well, they didn't get to talk to all of the stars. Surprise. Ran out of time. Was kind of hoping they would talk to Maureen. But no. And if Rick Perry is not voted off first I will shoot myself in the foot. I can tell already that he is going to be obnoxious.
i freakin love Laurie she is adorable.
I'm totally voting for Laurie the entire time!!!!
It's "Face" for me, then after that, I'm going straight to Val.
You haven't even seen these contestants in a full routine. Bias much?
+HotMessMemories1 unfortunately thats the way the competition works, it's not based on dancing alone, there's also their personalities and how well known the starts are
She wins
Val looks so much happier this season. After 2 past season duds, glad he's got a partner who will meet his challenges.
The past 2 seasons I found Val's choreo kinda underwhelming!
Lana byrne I agree. He didn't have the best suited partners for his abilities and devotion.
Laurie and Val are literally five years old and it's adorable
It's obnoxious
I agree they are so cute together, I love them!
I especially love how they adore each other so much it's so sweet
Laurie already looks so good I think she's gonna win btw terra looks so pretty
I LOVE LAURIE AND VAL SO MUCH THEY ARE SO CUTE AHHHH
Ok, we can skip straight to the finale. Laurie Hernandez's gonna win this season
Calvin Johnson got entire state and very dedicated Detroit Lions following
You can never win an Olympic gymnastic darling :)
Aly Raisman competed in season 16 and she got third, so they are beatable
wait didnt the gymnast already went on dwts? or no
+Monique Turner yes shawn johnson won her first time i think she came third her 2nd time
"maks Derek, so glad your back! oh and can't forget about the ladies, Cheryl you're back we've missed you!" Allison just standin there like😒🙋🏽
and Gleb
Not to mention they point out that Maks is having a baby ("speaking of babies") and Allison just had a baby and they didn't say anything.
thats what i said
tru
Laurie and Val for the win.
You know Laurie's gonna win. Super athletic, artistic and lovable. May as well skip to the end.
Laurie had me in tears. so damn funny.
everyone is smiling really big as she does the robot. love her!
she has crazy q factor. Incredible charisma. She looks like a cartoon. Can't wait to see the dances. Val is actually my favorite dancer, but I think for Laurie, I'd prefer Mark or Sasha, so I hope Val gets creative and they just have a lot of fun.
I love Val and Laurie 🙌🏾🙌🏾😍❤️
Very excited for this season!
Go Laurie! ❤️❤️❤️
There's some big people this year and OMG Derrick is back my all time favorite !!!
I think of Nastia and Derek dancing in the finale opener when I hear this song:)
I know many r going for Laurie Hernandez which I am excited for by the way, but I am also rooting for Jana Kramer, Jake T. Austin, Maureen McCormick and somewhat of Ryan Lofte. (i'll give him a chance, I doubt he'll win though)
i think jana will be a dark horse, she has the potential to win
+Matthew anzalone Yes she does and so does Jake T Austin. I truly hope they make it far.
Laurie, Jana, & Babyface are my projected final 3.
My life would be complete if any of the one direction boys be on this shows
or all of them at the same time
I can probably see Liam doing it but not Niall or Harry lol they hate dancing ^_^
i think one of the one direction guys have been on the show. isn't James Maslow in that band?
he was on DWTS.
he's in Big time rush
no theres none names james maslow in one direction
i'm voting for Laurie!
laurie gots this!!!!
Laurie
Laurie and Val make me so happy!!!!
Omg robin saying "awe" at 2:25 had me rolling lol 😹😹😹
Laurie !!!!!
very disappointed I don't see Mark Ballas!
I know, right? Major bummer for some of us DWTS fans not to see Mark Ballas this 23rd season! It's because he's focusing on his latest project this fall: Broadway "The Jersey Boys" in the Big Apple (a.k.a. New York)!
I was thinking the same thing! And tony! Kinda weird not seeing ether one of them
+leonor andaya am so happy for Mark! I know he's super smart & insanely talented, he graduated with honors in London majored Musical Theater! Impressive opportunity playing he iconic role of Frankie Valli, Jersey Boys. I will most def go see him, he's on October 18th till early 2017!
Yeah. It is weird that neither Mark nor Tony are on S23 to be seen, but it's already Week 5 and I'm getting used to it watching and enjoying it too (since they're sidelined this season).
The VERY first time GMA had a live studio audience
Laurie 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm freakin' excited for DWTS 23rd season!!! (They've posted 10 of the DWTS S23 promo pics on Google already! They better have the promo pics of James & Sharna, Vanilla & Witney, and Jana & Gleb on the 1st week of this season!!!) Can't wait to boogie for the season premiere this fall, though! GOOD LUCK, S23 CAST!!! U GOT THIS!!!!!
omg Kenny Babyface Emondsss onggggg i cant wait to c this
Team Jana and Gleb and Allison and Babyface!
marcia brady!!!! OMGGGGG!!!! finally another brady on the show!!
MARCIA! MARCIA! MARCIA! Marcia Brady on Dancing With the Stars! WOOHOO!!!!
leonor andaya yesssss!!!!
I can't wait until this season.
I saw Mark doing a interview and hes not on this season because he is doing Jersey Boys on Broadway
Laurie all the way
Here is my list:
Babyface and Alison
Val and Laurie
Lindsay and Calvin
Cheryl and Ryan
Anybody else is whatever
I like your pairs selection. and I was definitely looking at Val/Laurie and Lindsay/Calvin for sure. Laurie definitely has what it takes to win it and I think she can handle Val pushing her. I think Lindsay and Calvin make a stunning duo, and he seems to like a challenge, so I know Lindsay is going to make him work. Who doesn't love Babyface? (right) He just always seems so shy, but the one think he has in his favor is musicality. so if he can incorporate that into his dancing they could definitely be top contenders.
Can't wait for this season!
i feel like the hosts of gma need to do a better job of hosting and knowing they're facts when they promote a show. I mean they only covered the popular the pros, but what about ones who's having they're first chance like Jenna, or who aren't so popular and came back like Allison and Gleb
laurie for the win!!!
Do there do this every year ! Did season 30! I think this is season 23 !
I love Emma and Sharna
Derek omg what did you do in Video 😂😂😂
finals laurie, marylu, and amber
voting for Whitney Lindsay and terra the whole time
I will dance with you so much Derek and sing with you too Derek
I would have loved Laurie with Mark instead of Val. Mark is so innovative and Val just plays the sexy card. Hopefully he'll surprise me.
My thoughts exactly! Even Derek would've been better than Val.
Yes Derek had two gymnasts and is innovative too. Val must feel like he hit the jack box with Laurie and will probably copy Mark and Derek's past gymnast choreo
I totally agree! I miss Mark & Paige from last season, if Paige had the same wide fan base as Laurie, they would have won! Same with Sadie, Katherine & Chelsea!

What's this song called??
Can't Stop Me - Afrojack & Shermanology
Wonder whose decision was it to bring Ryan Lochte in this season. The (very) bad publicity surrounding all that lying about being mugged at Rio is till fresh with a lot of people. I think he could be booted very fast once all those call votes begin.
What is the song called
Vanilla Ice is future Ryan Lochte
who is the lady singing?
Where is mark
I was looking for white haired olympian who might have embarrassed himself.
I am in love with you so much Derek
do the z-move.
Val's hair 😍🔥
I am your dance sing too
Who else wants Simone to win this year
Ummm that is Laurie Simone is next season
Who are your picks to go home?
go jana and gleb
Looks like either RIck, Calvin or Maureen for me.
Did Val and Jenna break up?
No
They've never been officially together tho.
all second level stars except for Laurie
Vanilla ice who he ! Gleb partner beautiful! Peta not on it this season!we miss Julie Anne Hough and lacey and Anna and Allison and karina!

Oh Wow Edyta barely came back last season and she is not coming this season
Well, they didn't get to talk to all of the stars. Surprise. Ran out of time. Was kind of hoping they would talk to Maureen. But no. And if Rick Perry is not voted off first I will shoot myself in the foot. I can tell already that he is going to be obnoxious.
I can't until you shoot your foot!!
Jenna and Jake....the ONLY GOOD couple.
second class stars
where is Mark Ballas? Every year they screw Mark over with the worst celebs and constantly diss his choreography! Nasty!!!
